# Troika (Bosnia and Herzegovina)

Troika (Bosnian: Trojka), formerly known as the Four (Bosnian: Četvorka), is a liberal political alliance in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The alliance consists of the Social Democratic Party, the People and Justice party and Our Party.
Formed in August 2020, ahead of the Bosnian municipal elections, and initially called the Four, the alliance had also included the Independent Bosnian-Herzegovinian List, before it left the alliance and renamed it to Troika.

## History

Originally dubbed as the Four, the alliance consisted of the Social Democratic Party (SDP BiH), the People and Justice party, Our Party and the Independent Bosnian-Herzegovinian List (NBL). It was formed for the 2020 Bosnian municipal elections. In the elections, the alliance made significant results in the capital Sarajevo, winning in the municipalities of Centar, Novo Sarajevo, Stari Grad and Ilidža, as well as other major cities in the country.
On 20 November 2020, the alliance announced that Bogić Bogićević accepted the appointment as mayor of Sarajevo following the elections. However, on 24 March 2021, Bogićević decided to pull out of the candidacy because of conflicts in the coalition. This ultimately led to the NBL leaving the group, and renaming the Four to Troika.
Troika, also supported by the Union for a Better Future and the People's European Union, announced SDP BiH's Denis Bećirović's candidacy in the Bosnian general election on 21 May 2022, running for presidency member and representing the Bosniaks. In the general election, held on 2 October 2022, Bećirović was elected to the Presidency, having obtained 57.37% of the vote. Following the election, Troika reached an agreement on the formation of a new government supported by the coalition of the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD), the Croatian Democratic Union and the Democratic People's Alliance.
Troika repeated its electoral success in the 2024 municipal elections, holding on to every municipality in Sarajevo which they previously held, including Ilidža. The alliance also managed to win in Ilijaš, Bugojno and Donji Vakuf.
In January 2025, Troika announced that it was rescinding its support for the coalition with the SNSD, following the latter failing to vote for two laws concentrated on European Union accession. The legislation was ultimately passed with votes from the SNSD's opposition in Republika Srpska.
